Do you think Ice Mountain Splash contract has also run out? If it has, they might change it back, and so many people would just be so darn happy. :lol:

^Hey, no one has any reason to complain about Ice Mountain Splash. At least our's isn't called The Deer Park Spring Water Plunge. :lol:

I dont see what peoples obsession is with a ride thats been renamed to something else from its original name.

Does it really matter that Yankee Clipper is called Ice Mountain Splash?

I think the sponsorship with Nestle Waters has run out.

Log Jamboree is not a sponsored name and probably was the original name of that ride. SFMM also changed thier log ride name back to it's orginal JetStream name, instead of Arrowhead splashdown.

So I wouldn't be surprised if the Yankee Clipper name returns this season for our Log ride.

Does it really matter, no. I never did get used to calling Yankee Clipper by the Ice Mountain Splash name anyhow.

Maybe replaced by Pepsi and so as all the other sponsors and some ride names in the park changing this season. Will have to wait and see until 06 season starts.

Yes, I believe the contract has ended as of Jan 1st, 2006. So, all water rides that were renamed to reflected bottle water in the area will return to their original name.

I'm talking about Six Flags Great America. For the flash pass, do you get a beeper, or do you get tickets for rides? SFOG has gold bots, and q bots. How many rides do you get??

You still get tickets. One guy gave us one last weekend... but we never used it lol.

And I just found out on Memorial Day, why they call it the Flash Pass. I never knew that guy existed until that day.
